Robert-025 is a Spartan-II supersoldier and a member of Omega Team.[2][3]
Biography
Early childhood
Like the other SPARTAN-IIs, Robert-025 was abducted at age six and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program in 2517. He later survived the augmentation procedures in 2525. Along with Leon-011 and August-099, Robert formed the Spartan-II fast reaction unit Omega Team,[2] which was created primarily for asset denial operations.[3]
Career
Omega Team is typically deployed with the goal of breaking the enemy's hold long enough in order to reinforce local defenses and buy time for a UNSC response. During the Human-Covenant War, Omega Team was deployed to several colony worlds threatened by the Covenant, assisting in emergency evacuation efforts and enacting classified last-stand protocols. The team proved highly proficient at the denial of critical resources, data, and even personnel to the Covenant by any means necessary, which sometimes required the deployment of weapons of mass destruction.[3]
On many occasions Omega Team worked closely with the members of Red Team (Jerome-092, Alice-130, and Douglas-042), including the defense of Arcadia's capital city Pirth when it was attacked in 2531.[4][5] During the battle, they were separated when the UNSC Spirit of Fire departed the system to chase retreating Covenant forces.[6]
In the late stages of the Human-Covenant War, or the earliest years of the post-war era, Omega Team was involved in the testing of numerous "Breach" development iterations on the MJOLNIR Mark VI platform. These field tests were successful, and saw improvements folded into later GEN2 and GEN3 productions.[7] Decades after Red Team's last encounter with them, Commander Jerome-092 discerned that Omega Team had survived the war based on UNSC records recovered from the Henry Lamb Research Outpost.[2]
Equipment
Circa the end of the Human-Covenant War, Robert-025 participated in field tests while wearing MJOLNIR Mark VI with the Breach Link helmet attachments, UA/KOTIN chest armor, and TAC/SRV-III shoulder armor.[8]
Production notes
- 343 Industries has noted in a Canon Fodder post that both the concept art and the final Halo Wars 2 in-game models of Omega Team could be considered authoritative in some capacity, stating that "Discerning lore-lovers should feel free to consider both iterations fair game for expanding their imaginations."[2] Furthermore, the 2022 edition of the Halo Encyclopedia utilizes said concept art for its depiction of Omega Team, firmly cementing its canon status.[3]
